From foundation to finished home

The time-lapse footage shows the rapid progress as walls rise from the foundation, with door frames being installed to create the layout of what appears to be a spacious home. The construction crew works efficiently, with the skeletal structure taking shape before viewers' eyes.

As the building progresses, the team adds decorative pillars to enhance the exterior design and give the home a more modern, stylish appearance. The finished shell features contemporary roof designs that add to the overall appeal of the property.

While the video primarily focuses on the external construction process, stopping short of showing the plastering and interior finishes, the transformation from empty plot to house structure is impressive enough to capture attention.

The content creator, who specialises in house plans, construction, renovation, plastering, tiling, ceiling installation, roofing, carpentry, and electrical work, regularly shares his projects on social media to showcase his building expertise.

"Amen!"

@Phelelani Phele offered some constructive feedback:

"Great work, very well done👏👏🙏❤️"
